CourtAvenue, an American artificial intelligence solutions company ranked among the fastest-growing private companies in the U.S., has acquired a controlling stake in BotsCrew, a Ukrainian company that develops chatbots for business, BotsCrew announced in a press release on Feb. 11.
The founders of BotsCrew said in the press release negotiations had been ongoing since May 2024. They did not disclose the value of the deal.
BotsCrew founders Nazar Hembara, Max Gladysh, and Oleh Pylypchak will remain in leadership positions within the company, CourtAvenue wrote on its LinkedIn page in a post announcing the acquisition.
"CourtAvenue became our client in 2023, during the full-scale invasion, and now, in February 2025, we're signing this deal just before the third anniversary.
